A patron is sent a courtesy notice when an item is 7 days overdue.  A second overdue notice is sent when an item is 21 days overdue.
Patrons with accounts of $50.00 or more in materials and fines not settled within 60 days may be turned over to a collection agency to recover the materials.  A $10.00 collection agency fee is added to these accounts.  Failure to receive notices does not exempt the cardholder from fines and fees assessed.
